[Archive] A Dark Alliance... Ishkur Cinderhat vs Ghrask Dragh

Ghrask Dragh:

A Warriors of Chaos blog.

So it begins… now!

Ishkur and myself are both collecting WoC, as many of already know from Ishkurs awesome Wulfrik and Warriors posts, but are admittedly not getting much done recently. So we decided to combine forces and start a thread to showcase the progress of both armies. This is not competition (thank god!) just an idea to try get us painting and posting again on a somewhat regular basis :wink:

The way it will work is simple, we will both select a regiment or character to work on and set ourselves a deadline to get the finished pics posted in this thread, this way we will build up the army quickly and at the same time hopefully post some pretty cool pics :smiley:

The first regiment chosen by both combatants is…

Marauder Horsemen!





The deadline to get the regiment of Marauder Horsemen is 3 weeks, given that it’s a entire regiment and we both have other commitments we think this should give us half a chance to get some decent mini’s done.

So Ishkur, it’s over to you mate, good luck and see you in 3 weeks :cheers

clam:

Heard about this in the corridors - and I’m really looking forward seeing what you two can come up with.

So what can we expect?

Have you guys made up armylists for what you are going to field/build - or is it more, like a traditional games tale where you are building first a 500 point skirmish army and then expand to like 1000, 1500 … - or is it more like “this is a cool model” - I’ll convert/paint it up - type of quest.

And then I must say that you have given this ‘blog’ a very promising kick off - now lets see some more - shall we :smiley:

So, now please tell us more abourt all you ideas, colour schemes, conversions, purchases ect.

Obsidian:

Cool initiative, good luck! :cheers:

So, anyone else up for this? I need some motivating too! :stuck_out_tongue:

Ishkur Cinderhat:

Right mate, let’s get this started! :slight_smile: My marauder horsemen might be a bit more traditionally based so far - but they are primed already. ^^





Formal deadline for the painted regiment is Feb 4th. I’m sure there is enough time, maybe we can even finish our stuff earlier.

Our plans for this are that we generally agree to one regiment or miniature, then build and paint them to a set deadline. Right now there is no armylist behind my work (yet), as I primarily want to finish the miniatures from the speartip. We might modify this to a more generic “army standard bearer” or “sorceror model” for future entries, but at first we want to finish some bulk troops, don’t we Grash. ^^

You’re all invited to let us know what you want to see in a WoC Army, of course! :hat off

Pyro Stick:

So you are basically doing A Tale Of Two Gamers, like they do over on heresy online. Hopefully this will motivate more than just yourselves. Im looking forward to seeing what you will both come up with.

Kera foehunter:

time ticking !! can’t wait to see this great group of horse men

Bassman:

Ishkur and Ghrask in a challenge?!?!

Go back to your Dawi Zharr!!! :hashut Do not waste time with chaotic humies :frowning:

Well, I’m stalikng this thread to see some awesome stuff :hat

AGPO:

Excellent idea guys, I might just borrow this as an excuse to get my own horsemen done

clam:

So, anyone else up for this? I need some motivating too! :P

Obsidian
I think we all could need a challange like this - but I know myself good enough - not to make these kind of commitments.

So, are you think about starting a new army too - or just finish something you already have started?

furrie:

I’m a little low on cash, so I couldn’t even buy the horseman :stuck_out_tongue:

Ishkur Cinderhat:

Deadline day! Come on Grash, let’s see what weakling tribes have joined your host. :slight_smile:









Obviously, I have been painting to the last minute and more obviously the light is really bad now. I might need to make additional pictures in daylight to show some more details. In any way, I’m one unit closer to a painted Chaos Horde! ^^

Dino:

Very cool Ishkur. The next thing both you guys should paint are chaos warriors.

Khan!:

Gorgeous as always. I’m particularly impressed by the horses, because I hate painting them myself. So much.

tjub:

As said above, the horses are really sweet! I usually dont pay too much attention to the mount when painting, but I might have to rethink on that…

clam:

Awesome, Ishkur - those horses looks so cool :hat off - and glad to se a bit of purple among all these natual colours.

@Ghrask D

Can’t find you post …??? - think you may have - accidentally - deleted it. So, will you (for me) please repost it? :smiley:

G! first deadline and you missed it - now thats a great start :wink:

Ubertechie:

They look fantastic - sometimes peoples painting skills on this site make me :sick with envy

I got this exact box for my wedding but it was more meant in general. ;)

The Horsemen look great! When you guys have your armies finished you should enter the Warhammer doubles tournament! ;)

Canix:

They look great Ishkur ,come on Ghrask .These and the new chaos knights are excellent minis i will have to get some:hat off

Kera foehunter:

nice horsemen !!love the yellow horse ishkur!! he looks mad!!

clam:

I got this exact box for my wedding

Obsidian
How - on earth - did you pull that one off?

Only thing I got was pots, pans, flowers and some art work :(

- getting all of this - when all you needed is more miniatures, a decent camera and a new computer - marriage really is a waste of money - now isn't it? :D
